in assimilating the traits…there may be
some shortcomings in me…but whatever
good and noble I possess, in all that, this
fountainhead of traits from which I drank,
it occupies a very exalted place.
During this journey of mine in the refinement process,
I got an opportunity to be in proximity of
many exalted lives, who might be viewed
as very low by the world, but their love,
their proximity have been the motivating factors
for this journey of mine. The list of such lives
is very long, still it has been possible
to recall a few of them.
Few people are aware of
this bright tradition of sacrificing life
without expecting anything in return.
The world seldom keeps such architects of the society
who devote every moment of their lives
and every particle of their bodies
in the service of the Motherland,
but their fragrance keeps spreading around even today.
Recalling such lives infuses
new inspiration in life,
and so, for the pleasure of the innate soul,
for the happiness of everybody,
I have made this solemn effort
to give wordsm to the fragrance
of the architects of the society
which has resulted into this book.
I am neither capable nor eligible
to assess such high lives.
There are bright anecdotes in the life of everybody.
